Secret City Festival organizers announced Thursday that Grammy-nominated rocker Eddie Money will be the Friday night headline entertainment for the 12th annual Secret City Festival, June 13-14.

Money will bring his blue-collar brand of rock ‘n’ roll to the UCOR Concert Stage at A.K. Bissell Park at 7 p.m. Friday, June 13. Local rock band Jada Blade will be the opening act. The Friday night concert is sponsored by Pro2Serve, CROET and Classic Hits 93.1.

Money is a multi-platinum selling artist whose music has managed to transcend generations, according to information from the Oak Ridge Convention and Visitors Bureau. Known for songs like, “Take Me Home Tonight,” “Baby Hold On,” and “Two Tickets to Paradise,” Money boasts a string of Top 40 hits beginning in the 1980s that continues to move audiences today.

Money reportedly retains his signature style and performs with the same passion today as he did more than 30 years ago. Along with having sold more than 28 million records, Money’s songs have appeared in dozens of movies and television shows, and have recently been included in hit video games like “Grand Theft Auto” and “Guitar Hero.”

Tickets may be purchased for the early bird price of $18 and go on sale April 29. Tickets purchased after May 30 will be available for $20. All tickets can be purchased online at www.secretcityfestival.com, by phone at (865) 482-4432 or in person at the Oak Ridge Civic Center, 1403 Oak Ridge Turnpike.
